Alpine Orchard

Chapter 180 Boss Li
After Gao Yuan and Guo Feng had left for a while, the deputy villager of the production team, Chen Shan... called.

"Hello, uncle." Ye Mo shouted.

"Boss Li is coming soon, are you at home?"

"At home." Ye Mo said.

"Do you want to go there?" Chen Shan said.

"Okay, thank you uncle."

"Thank you, we are all a family." Chen Shan smiled and said, "I'll be there right away."

Ye Mo was next to the melon field, blowing on the air conditioner for a while.

Chen Shan came over first, and the two of them smoked a cigarette, and Boss Li also came over.

Boss Li is a big fruit merchant, and the scale of his company is one of the best in Huacheng.

Last year, the production team bought mangoes and pomegranates...

According to Chen Shan, Boss Li has a big business and has a large storage base in Huacheng.In Chengdu, Guangdong and other regions, we also have our own warehouses.

Boss Li drove over in a dusty Volkswagen. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary Volkswagen. Look carefully...it was a Phaeton.Listen to the sound, it may be a V8 engine, or a W12 engine...

"Boss Li." Chen Shan shouted with a smile when he saw the person coming.

"Mr. Li." Ye Mo took out a cigarette and lit one for the two of them.

"Brother Chen, you can just call me Xiao Li. It's very stressful to call me boss." Boss Li said with a smile.

"Let me introduce you to Ye Qing's son, Ye Mo." Chen Shan said, "Boss Li, Li Xuebin."

"Hello." Li Xuebin looked at Ye Mo.

"Hello."

Ye Mo also looked at him, Li Xuebin should be in his forties, not fifty.

After entering the melon field, Li Xuebin looked at the watermelons carefully and said, "These watermelons are not bad."

"Two bosses came to see it just now, and they said that when these watermelons are ripe, if they look the same, they will be premium melons." Ye Mo said.

Li Xuebin rubbed the stubble of his chin and nodded: "Is the watermelon not yet ripe?"

"Not yet." Ye Mo took one off, cut it open, and handed half to Li Xuebin.

For the remaining half, he cut two knives and handed a piece to Chen Shan: "Although it is not fully ripe, it tastes very sweet."

"It's only three or four mature." Li Xuebin said, looking carefully at the flesh of the melon.

The flesh of the melon pulp is very delicate, and no fiber can be seen...

Like Gao Yuan and the others, he studied watermelon rind.

"When I was in the fruit business, I was tricked by watermelons..." Li Xuebin smiled and said, "Watermelons are not easy to transport. I will be very careful when I start the watermelon business. When I collect watermelons, I only accept those with thick skin. Or a resilient watermelon."

This year's watermelons are already on sale, and the market is particularly good.

Small fruit merchants bought watermelons and sent them to the nearest wholesale market. A truckload of more than ten tons of watermelons earned at least a few thousand profits.A few good watermelons can make a profit of tens of thousands per cart...

If it is sent to Guangzhou, the profit will be even higher.

Now there are not many ripe watermelons, and there are even fewer high-quality ones.

For large fruit merchants, whether the watermelon is good or not depends on the toughness of the rind.The melon rind has good toughness and can be transported over long distances, and the storage period of such watermelons is also longer.

Of course, the taste of watermelon must also be good.

Watermelons are troublesome to transport, but there are too many troublesome fruits to transport.Those fruits are also sold everywhere...

Walk around and look around.

After wandering around the melon field for more than half an hour, I saw cantaloupe, netted melon...

"Watermelon in the greenhouse?" Li Xuebin was stunned when he saw a watermelon that was bigger than a big winter melon lying under the greenhouse.

A large watermelon that is more than one meter long is also more than half a meter high.The most important thing is the shape of the melon, which is particularly smooth and round.

"A specially bred large watermelon."

"Can you eat?"

Ye Mo smiled and said, "It's definitely edible."

"Last year... there were a few watermelons with a maximum weight of more than two hundred catties in our flower city. Did you cultivate them?" Li Xuebin asked.

It is difficult to grow such a large watermelon.

Li Xuebin also saw the video of Huacheng big watermelon on the Internet, and the appearance of those big watermelons is exactly the same as the one here.

"Yeah." Ye Mo nodded.

"How much are these big watermelons?"

"More than 2 yuan." Ye Mo said: "The watermelons here are basically reserved."

"If it's not sold out, if there is a cheap one, leave one for me." Li Xuebin said and walked into the greenhouse.

The weather is hot. During the day, the perimeter of the greenhouse is lifted up, and some are lowered at night.

After seeing the rare super big watermelon, Li Xuebin went to the side and made a phone call. After chatting for a few minutes, he came back and said to Ye Mo, "How many are the first batch of ripe watermelons?"

"There should be more than fifty tons."

"I want 45 tons. I will check the goods when they are ripe. If they can be packed in bulk, they will cost you 5 yuan per catty. If you can't pack them in bulk... 4.5 yuan per catty." Li Xuebin said: "Watermelon has a market price every few days, and a market price. "

"45 tons?"

"Well. If it can be packed in bulk, it will be transported away in two trucks of 45 tons. If it can't be packed in bulk, the transportation will be more troublesome. It's just an approximate price. I'll come and see when it's mature."

"Do you need to pick melons?"

"Do you still need to pick your watermelons? They all look the same." Li Xuebin said with a smile.

Ye Mo smiled and said, "Is it picked when they are seven ripe?"

"You can be seven or eight." Li Xuebin said, "Anyway, it just happened in the last few days."

Ye Mo nodded...

After sending Li Xuebin away, Ye Mo called his father: "Dad, are you back?"

"I'm back, I'm going to Hongshan Town immediately." Dad said.

Ye Mo hung up the phone, drove the small excavator over, and cleared a few places beside the watermelon field.

Not long after, Dad came over with a small truck, which was equipped with some light steel and woven sunshade nets.

Dig a few small holes on the ground, then stand up the light steel, and then fix the light steel with straps...

Ye Mo wants to build several awnings to store watermelons.

The sunshade is very simple, and it doesn't take long for a sunshade covering an area of ​​several hundred square meters to be erected.

It will be dark.

Lin Xiaomian called: "It's time for dinner, come here quickly."

"Right now." Ye Mo hung up the phone: "Dad, go over and have dinner."

I had dinner at my uncle's house today.

Their orchard was fertilized with organic fertilizer, and Lin Xiaomian and Ye Ran drove the excavator to help loosen the soil.The excavation bucket was replaced with rake claws, and the soil on the surface was simply loosened, and then sprinkled with grass seeds mixed with organic fertilizer.

Apply organic fertilizer and plant grass.

The temperature is getting hot day by day. According to the situation in previous years, it usually starts to rain in late April, light rain.After the middle of May, it enters the rainy season...

As I said before, there are advantages and disadvantages to planting grass in the orchard.It mainly depends on whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

The fruit trees over there are not too small, but the soil fertility is thin.Last year, I gave a lot of organic fertilizer. I want to improve the soil, prevent soil erosion, and plant grass... It is also a good choice.More importantly, there are grass plants in the orchard, which can reduce the temperature in the orchard.
